Experience the Extraordiary

Inspired by the legendary College of Extraordinary Experiences in Poland, the retreat will balance a curated program with that which organically emerges.

Expect experiences like:

• Creating thought-provoking games anyone can play

• Exploring the secrets of adventure design

• Cooking & feasting upon food from the farm

• Reading to each other in funny accents

• Upping your singing ante with a musical game

• Getting your hands dirty with farming

Practice the Principles

Creating Stone Soup takes vulnerability, trust, and leaps of faith.  All are expected to embrace these principles to ensure we're playing by the same rules. 

Enthusiastic Consent
Only do when the doing is rewarding, not because of peer pressure or hope of a future reward. Create space for opting-out.

Inclusion
Embrace everyone, and seek people different than you. Stone Soup is for people of all identities, backgrounds, beliefs, and abilities. 

Positive Transformation
Be respectful, compassionate, and honest with yourself and others. Avoid getting drunk/high/?, as it will reduce your ability to engage in positive transformation.

Do-acracy
Do, or it won't happen. Transformation derives from action. This entire retreat is yours for the taking. There's no hierarchy, there's only do-acracy.

Yes, and
Give confirmation of what’s working well, be inspired by it, and add on to it. Avoid having a negating “No, But” attitude, it’s a creativity killer.
